So I read on this website that the 4.44 ring and pinion from an rx8 fits the 94-97 miata. So I bought one and the ring gear is too big. Wrong gear from seller or wrong info?? Anybody try this? Please help a newb out...TIA

~ 3.3:1. That'll give you 70 MPH at somewhat under 3,000 RPM on a 5 speed, and probably make first gear useful again.
I've got a set of 3.636 on the shelf, and have decided I'll probably be installing it in my car next month, as I'll be doing a lot of freeway commuting. We'll see how that works out. Should put 70MPH right about at 3,100 RPM.

As it happens I have a set in my garage in the 1.8-style fitment. I'll sell 'em to you for $500.
